    What a fun ten minutes. Ashes over New Jersey? The dialogue is swift, fun and funny. What a treat to read.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Stars

    Stars is a most unusual and terrific buddy play. The two characters Gene and Terry are on divergent paths, but somehow understand each other. This would be a good play for a one act festival.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Ahavah

    Lies always catch up with you especially if a Rabbi is involved. Saul has secrets and he asks his girlfriend to keep them. Luckily she has a clear head. This very sweet love story would be popular in any festival.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Chasing Cinderella

    Fairy Tales do come true, but often not how you expect them to end. Chasing Cinderella is a very good and sweet coming of age story told through the eyes of the young and the older. This is an excellent play for high school audiences.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Divine Truth

    I watched a recording of DIVINE TRUTH as a part of Powerstories Theatre's third annual virtual global view-on-demand Voices of Women Theatre Festival! When religion tries to impose its own truth on a family, different versions of what is true come out. Is it okay to question the doctrine? How does questioning truth affect the whole family. This one act brings these questions sharply into focus.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Head Over Heels

    I have a Monica's Brain in my life often. She says what she thinks in the moment. Good thing Kevin can't hear her. Until the end that is, when Monica's Brain softens up to Kevin. First dates should be this good. This is a clever and funny piece about "getting to know you" first meets.

  • What a fun "meet cute" two hander. This piece is perfect for any festival about love or relationships. Life is what happens when you open yourself up to new adventures and a selfie with a stranger.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Carhenge

    Carhenge reminded me so much of raising my two sons...the distractions, the finagling to get their attention, the memory making. This monologue is alive with hope, as a single Mom takes her kids on a family road trip.
